Summary:
The Nottoway County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to two elementary schools: Crewe Primary and Blackstone Primary. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data reveals a significant performance gap between them.
Crewe Primary stands out as the top-performing school, with consistently higher test scores in math and reading compared to the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, Crewe Primary was ranked 266 out of 1,110 Virginia elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating. In contrast, Blackstone Primary has significantly lower test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 37% to 59% in math and reading, and a much lower 1-star rating.
The data also reveals high poverty levels in both schools, with over 96% of students at Crewe Primary and over 101% at Blackstone Primary receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the spending per student is relatively similar between the two schools, the higher performance of Crewe Primary suggests that the funding may be more effectively utilized or allocated at that school. The overall low ranking of the Nottoway County Public Schools district (102 out of 129 in Virginia) and its 1-star rating also indicate significant challenges in providing quality education across the district.
